I already chose the Yellow dials. But I will make sure to get the yellow stitching question resolved.

That's right....you did mention the SY dial faces.

I want to also mention that IMO the sport seats don't do much compared to the stock seats. I have a cab with standard seats, and an X50 with sport seats, and while the sport seats are a little more supportive, they're not all the way there.

Having ridden in Ben, LJ's car with GT3 seats, I would think these would be the ticket for a TT with pumped up horsepower and improved suspension. IMO the stock or sport seats will be the next weak link.

I would think you could order GT3 seats from someone like Gert and get them with deviating yellow stitching, and have the backs painted. Has anyone out there done this? I know they can be ordered with carbon fiber backs, which might be pretty hot.

In any event, your car sounds wonderful. Makes me wonder if I should sell my X50 and get a TT cab and start wasting tens of thousands of dollars all over again!

Here's a pic of Luting Chen's GT3 seats that he had made for his car. I think they looking stunning.

I have the storage bin cover with the "Turbo" logo. It's a nice, cheap option and will look good with yellow stitching.

Here's a link to a thread by Luting Chen. There are some nice pictures of different options for GT3 seats.

Also, I have the storage cover with the "Turbo" logo. It's relatively cheap and looks great, especially with the deviating stitching.

I think the only problem you'll have w/ GT3 seats is getting into the back seat. I thought it was accessable w/ those seats.
